Human Trafficking
My group and I chose to do human trafficking for our SAP project. The reason that I really wanted to do this for my SAP project is because I didn't know to much about the topic and I wanted to learn more as well as teach others what I will learn.
When people think of human trafficking, the first thing they think of is the movie "Taken" starring Liam Neeson. This is what I think about. The movie is about a teenage girl traveling to Europe when suddenly she is abducted and sold in human trafficking. Liam Neeson, the girls father, then goes through a series of action filled scenes to save his daughter. After seeing this movie it was scary to think that these kind of things actually happen and this is the main reason I pursued this topic.
We will be asking these four questions to random students at John Carroll to see how much the general public knows about this topic and to also see there responses and compose a video that puts them all together. Questions are as follows:
1. What is human trafficking?
2. Where do you think this occurs?
2. Where do you think this occurs?
3. How many people do you think it affects a year?
4. What is the yearly income of the industry?
Answers:
1. Human trafficking is the illegal movement of people, usually for the purpose of labor or commercial sexual exploitation.
2.Trafficking affects 161 different countries throughout the world.
3. In 2013, there were 3,609 cases of sex trafficking cases and 929 labor trafficking cases in the U.S. Also, 1/7 runaways were sex trafficking victims. Around the world, there is an estimated 4.5 million people trapped in sexual human trafficking and an additional 14.2 million people around the world to be trapped in the forced labor trafficking. Altogether, there are 20.1 million people victims of human trafficking a year.
4. The United Nations estimates the global expenditures on human trafficking is 32 Billion Dollars.
The answers to these questions are quite disturbing and are answers that people need to know.
